Retractable Hose Reel

I am having trouble retracting the hose into the reel. The runner which used to run across back and forth appears to stick on the right hand side which causes the hose to jam. It appears a ratchet system has come off.

Realise now that the cog that the belt runs on has broken off. The retractable hose reel was purchased January 2014 so have had a good run and another I purchased in October 2015 is still going well.

I live in usda zone 8 b. . It gets down to below freezing here. Do I need to bring in my hoselink?

Hi Kathi,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your question.

We would certainly advise making sure the tap has been turned off and the water has been released from the hose so ensure it doesn't freeze and expand. If you're not going to be using the hose reel during these times it would certainly be better if you stored it out of those conditions.

Kind Regards,
The Hoselink Team

Retractable Hose Reel 3000 Series

Hi, the tension on my hose reel is so tight l have trouble pulling it out. Is there a way to adjust it ?

1 answer
Hoselink
Hoselink O.Hoselink

Hi there, thank you for your question. Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your hose reel being hard to pull out.

Due to the hose reels being spring loaded, they do require a fair amount of tension to ensure that the hose retracts fully every time. However this shouldn't cause problems with the system being hard to pull out. If this is a new hose reel then the tension should ease the more you use it.

However, we would be more than happy to get the hose reel back and reduce the tension for you if this continues to cause problems. Please feel free to contact our customer care team on 1300 900 617 and we can get this organised for you.

Kind regards, The Hoselink Team

Retractable Hose Reel

I accidentally pulled out too much hose and now it won't retract.
Any ideas?

1 answer
Hoselink
Hoselink O.Hoselink

Hi Geoff, you may have over extended the hose and need to reset it. If you put one hand on the hose and one hand on the unit and give it a few short sharp tugs (you'll need to be quite forceful) this should hopefully reset your hose. If this doesn't work please contact our customer service team and they will be able to assist you. Kind Regards, The Hoselink Team

Until this recent problem we were happy with the reel that we have had for some time. As we live on a small farm in the country it is most important that we have a reliable hose around our house in case of fire. We would like to purchase a 25m Hose Reel to replace the 30M Reel that we had and would appreciate if you could quote me a replacement. Yours in anticipation, Damien Ryan.

Hoselink O.Hoselink

Hi Damien,
Thank you for your reply. Yes we can definitely appreciate that you need a good quality hose and we believe our hose will work well for you. If you could please contact our customer service team we would be happy to provide you with a quote as we may be able to offer you a discount.

Hi there, thanks for your question and sorry to hear you are having issues with your Reel not retracting. If it's a 'Hozelock' Reel then this is not our brand so we would suggest you contact Hozelock to see if this can be repaired. If it is actually a 'Hoselink' reel that you have purchased from us then it would be best if you can email us directly so we can see if the issue can be fixed. Most issues can be but we will need some more information firstly please. Thanks so much for your co-operation with this. Kind Regards, The Hoselink Team

Retractable Hose Reel

What is the difference between a highflow 25m hose and a standard 30m hose? I need the extra length but want the ability to have high flow at times. What’s the difference in the flow rate?

1 answer
Hoselink
Hoselink O.Hoselink

Hi Linda, thanks for your question. The difference is the hi-flow has a slightly larger diameter hose (14mm as opposed to the standard 12mm), therefore allows more water to flow through the system at one time.

It has up to a 25% increase in water flow in comparison to our standard models. We would recommend to use the Hi-Flow on water tanks/bore pressure, or even on average - low mains pressure.

Kind Regards, The Hoselink Team

Retractable Hose Reel

Hi, our kinder has a new retractable hose but we when we turn the tap on the water isn’t coming through the hose, yet when the hose is removed it is coming from the tank to the tap so pump is turned on. We squeeze the trigger and no water comes out of the hose

Thanks

might be silly question did you flip the yellow flap over at end of hose as well

I’m not there presently but I’ll check, was installed by maintenance
Thank you

Hoselink
Hoselink O.Hoselink

Hi Carol, thanks for your question. It does sound like the Flow Control lever has been knocked into the closed position upon installation as Jamie has said. If you put the yellow lever down towards the hose rather than up towards the spray gun then this should open the flow of water. Please let us know if you continue to have issue.

My hose cannister has failed to retract the hose. I have split the casing in two and find the mechanics to be somewhat complicated without instructions on how to retention and reassemble. Hope you can help! Thanks in advance

Hi Steve, thanks for your comment and sorry to hear you had issues with the retraction. We don't recommend opening the casing as these are spring loaded units and it can be dangerous.

Is the hoselink hose fit for drinking from?
Want to fill my caravan tank using the hose.

JBfromFerndale
JBfromFerndale

I guess it would depend on the water source. Our mains tap water here in the West is perfectly safe to drink. I wouldn’t imagine there would be reason my hose would become contaminated as we have our unit attached to the wall of our house a couple of feet above ground so no nasties would crawl into the hose.

Hoselink
Hoselink O.Hoselink

Good Afternoon, thanks for your question. If you are wanting to use it for drinking water we would recommend our Drinking Water Hose which is specifically for this and comes in a 10m and 20m length. Here's a link: https://www.hoselink.com.au/?rf=kw&kw=drinking+water Kind Regards, The Hoselink Team

Retractable Hose Reel

My 20mtr hose has lost its pressure, is there a fine mesh filter fitted that may be blocked? It used to work well. The hose is useless in this state and I am very disappointed a baby can wee with more pressure.

1 answer
Hoselink
Hoselink O.Hoselink

Hi Steve, we are so sorry to hear you're experiencing these issues. Our hose reels have a flow controller fitting on the end of the hose that has a lever which shuts off the water at the end of the hose, have you made sure that is all the way open? Also it could possibly be blocked so maybe try and reverse flush the unit. Please feel free to contact our customer service team about this issue as we are always happy to help. Kind regards, The Hoselink Team

Hi-Flow Retractable Hose Reel 3425 (25m)

Have had our unit for 4 years of trouble free operation. Great product. However the reel has started to noticeably squeak when being both pulled out and retracting. I guess a squirt of some non oily lubricant is in order but not sure where to apply. Thanks. Peter.

Hi Peter, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. So glad to hear you're loving your Hoselink hose reel. It sounds like you may just need to lubricate the o-rings on the elbow joint. This is quite simple. Please get in contact with our customer service team for further information as we are always happy to help. Kind Regards, The Hoselink Team
